Magnum 3.9 with port injection? Your computer will never know the big TB
there, you may want to "check" your performance guys advice abit...
  You do have to open up the bores in your manifold to accept the larger
diameter TB though... You can do that by removing the manifold (the safe
way) or you can do it my way... BWAHHAHAHAHAH... (leave it on and protect
your motor with any and all means available) lots of duct tape, cardboard,
5hp shop vac running and strategically placed, few well chosen words to the
Gods of debris and there you go... ( I also flip my stock TB retainer for
those of you that want to know just what kind of fiend i am) as long as you
use a TB with the right sensors, your computer will like it!
